| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:05.3 | Welcome. It's nice to have you with us on Verdict with Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you, as always. |
| 0:10.9 | And Senator, we have got a lot to talk about. |
| 0:13.2 | Well, there's a ton happening. The Trump administration announced that they are going to begin revoking student visas for Chinese students and vigorously scouring their |
| 0:22.6 | applications to make sure that they are not connected to the Chinese Communist Party. That is a |
| 0:27.8 | welcome step that is much needed. We're going to break that down in detail. California also reversed |
| 0:33.2 | its policies on transgender athletes, taking a major step to protect women and really showing |
| 0:40.5 | that the left realizes they are in full retreat. We're going to explain exactly what's going on |

| 1:29.1 | Jewish schools are being targeted. |
| 1:30.9 | Synagogues are being threatened and families are living in fear. |
| 1:34.5 | It's something that we hoped we'd never see again in our lifetime. |
| 1:37.8 | And so let me say this. |
| 1:39.4 | Silence is not an option. |
